Chapter 859 Killing Nostic

Seeing this, Shiro was reminded about what had happened when she was facing up against the gorgon. In a moment of desperation, she had stacked all of the berserk skills together without care for the consequences. Naturally, the result of such was almost dying if not for the help of her friends.

Tilting her head, Shiro narrowly dodged his strike as she flicked her hand and immediately cut off his arm that tried to strike her.

Gritting his teeth, he quickly regenerated his entire arm and tried to roundhouse kick her head.

Catching his kick, Shiro didn’t care that her hand was corroding away and slammed him against the ground.

Once again, Shiro cut off the part of her arm that was being corroded.

Just as she finished regenerating, Nostic had also recovered from the slam.

Grey smoke trails shot towards her in an attempt to kill her.

Swiping up with her hand, dark flames erupted out of the ground and devoured the smoke in an instant.

"Dying to the backlash would be pretty disappointing so I’ll have a final contest of power with you." Shiro narrowed her eyes and smiled. Activating her True Spirit Nature and Divine Raiment, a black dress wrapped around her body as she chose the lightning element. Her white hair started to glow with a yellow colour as Shiro brough out Silvanis, her most treasured weapon.

On its own, the blade already ignored 80% of all forms of armour and effect four allows the element to double its effectiveness while ignoring all of the target’s resistance towards that element. In essence, he wouldn’t be able to reduce the power of her strike at all.

Crouching down slightly, Shiro flashed toward like a streak of lightning.

Gritting his teeth, Nostic forcefully activated a wide ranged tier 6 spell as a wave of corrosive ash exploded toward Shiro.

Twisting her body, she cut through the smoke easily as the force of her strikes were able to part them aside so that it didn’t affect her. Plus, her blade was unbreakable so the corrosion couldn’t do anything about the sword.

Time seemed to stop for Nostic as he watched the lightning infused Shiro come closer with each passing moment. Her sword flickered with lightning as he knew that his life was coming to a close.

’Despite using everything I have, she can still deal with me using just skills and techniques. She hasn’t used a single berserk skill.’ Nostic thought with a small smile.

Gathering all of his mana in a final destructive hit, he punched towards Shiro as she activated boundary.

A web of slashes exploded out as Nostic was cut apart in a single moment as the lightning charred the rest of his body and prevented him from regenerating.

However, during the last moment, he managed to unleash the attack at the perfect moment.

Looking down at her body, Shiro couldn’t help her praise him in her mind.

After all, his last attack had managed to obliterate her entire arm and a large chunk of her torso. She could already feel light headed from the loss of blood as she quickly removed all of the corroded parts and regenerated everything using grace rather than life fire since life fire would take a little longer to heal a wound of this scale.

With Nostic killed, her level had increased a little as she collected his body.

Surprisingly, he had quite a lot of weapons, armours, materials and items. Most of the items weren’t useful for her but she managed to find the artefact that they were planning to use.

[Prison of Souls – Black]

Using your own soul as a catalyst, you are able to seal away a being more powerful than you. However, if the strength disparity between the two of you is too big, the strength of the seal will be weakened. This cannot be dodged and is a guaranteed hit.

Once they are sealed, their physical body will be restrained, unable to move or do anything while their soul will be trapped in this artefact. Even if they destroy the seal on the body, unless they destroy the seal on the soul, the person will not be able to control their physical body.

Uses – 1/4

Reading the item description, Shiro was a little surprised to see that it was a guaranteed hit that used souls as the catalyst.

If Nostic had wanted to use this in the fight, it would definitely be a little annoying since it was a guaranteed hit.

’That demon’s pretty honourable.’ Shiro thought to herself since he wanted his last fight to be one where he could let loose and not one where he would just seal her away.

Storing the artefact away so that she could analyse it at a later date, Shiro wondered how she was meant to move around the isolated space. She could see that the other’s were performing quite nicely as they were pushing the candidates back.

Even rank 2 and 3 who they had limited information on were being pushed back thanks to the party’s synergy and teamwork.

Right after she killed Nostic, Wyslia, the one who had a certain amount of control over the artefact that isolated them, frowned as she noticed that she now had full control. This could only mean one thing and that Nostic is dead. But she could still sense Shiro’s mana signal so she could assume that Nostic probably didn’t use the artefact.

’This is bad.’ She thought to herself while jumping back. However, Estrella, Aarim and Lisandra weren’t about to give her more room.

Creating a portal behind her, Wyslia found herself being teleported closer to the trio as her movements were dulled by Aarim.

With her guard being open, Lisandra charged towards her as her sword lit up with a golden flame that caused her to flinch.

Splitting her body in two, Wyslia created two clones of herself and dodged her strike before fusing together.

Slamming her hand down, tier 5 magic circles appeared around the trio.

From their shadow, tens of hands shot out and restrained their movements while Wyslia pressed her palm against the walls of the isolated space.

"Yo, seems like you can control this place huh? Good for you." Shiro smiled as she appeared next to Wyslia with the help of the rift. Normally, this wouldn’t work but after her recent creation of a pseudo teleport shrine, her understanding had increased and through using Celestial path, she was able to create pathways to each of the rooms that they had isolated.

"However, I think I’ll have you stay here so that you can’t regroup." Shiro smiled as she flexed her finger.

Suddenly, a tier 6 magic circle expanded out as a thin barrier overlayed the walls, preventing Wyslia from using the artefact at all.

However, Wyslia only smiled.

"You might have prevented me from using the artefact but I can still cut off my supply mana." Just as she said this, the isolated space started to shake before crumbling apart.

"Saresha! Use the forest!" Wyslia shouted out as she flickered away, regrouping with the rest of the candidates.

Looking at the state of the party members, Shiro knew that they would have won their fights eventually. Most of the candidates were looking worn out while a few looked as though they were on the verge of death.

"Plans have changed, she’s got the artefact and Nostic is dead." Wyslia said as the candidates furrowed their brows. Without saying anything else they immediately dashed towards the forest as the party chased them down.

Naturally, Shiro decided to spectate from the side as her job was now over.

Just as they entered the forest, Saresha blew her flute as the mana density started to increase. The trees started to uproot themselves as vines shot towards the party.

"Oh my, using tree’s when Iziuel is around is just a poor choice of actions." Shiro smiled as Iziuel didn’t hesitate to dash forward.

Biting her finger, she used her blood to draw a tier 5 magic circle in the air before slamming it in the ground.

A pulse of energy expanded through the forest as the trees immediately turned against the candidates.

"What?!" Widening her eyes in shock, Saresha tried to blow her flute once more but it seemed to have lost its effectiveness.

With the forest now on the party’s side, the rest of the fight could only be described as a hunt.

Soon, the only candidate left here was Madison as Asphil gave up her role.

Just as this happened, the entire party received a notification.

[You have assisted candidate ranked 72, Madison to become the only remaining candidate. She shall begin her evolution to become the Demon Queen.]
